ing for papers to go to press, as is usual around
all newspaper Offices. Each was fined S. and
costs, and the Judge made these remarks in dis
posing Of the cases. This is an illustration of
how the city gets such a bad name in respec: to
morals of minors. / don't suppose that there is
any other city in the world where such boys as
these would be arrested aud prosecuted. l think
it goes to the credit OF the city for preserving
good order but these statisticians eobble arrests
up for another purpose. and make i. appear that
this is the worst city in the world, when, in fact
the order of this city is a. good, if not better,
than in others"
Several other small colored boys were fined
for disorderly conduct, loud talking and OBJ
structing streets, which will still further assist
statisticians in making it appear that there is
terrible depravity among the youths in this city.
